Chapter 51: The Three-legged Swamp Toad

After all, this Soul Hunting Forest is a tropical forest with a history of thousands of years, with lush vegetation and vitality, if you don't observe the size and growth age of those ancient trees, it is actually not much different from the appearance of the edge of the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The shrubs, vines and grasses everywhere are not easy to travel quickly, and Rao is a soul beast like Ye Xi, which is more than four meters tall, if he is not careful, he will also be bound by the ancient vines and strange stones hidden in the deep grass.

The reason why the Convoy of the Martial Spirit Hall was able to move through the forest unhindered was because of the several gravel passages that crisscrossed the forest.

Ye Xi naturally wouldn't take the risk of stepping on these artificial roads at will, he had his own way of hurrying.

"Bang! Boom! ”

Ye Xi flew up nimbly and climbed a tree trunk more than six meters above the ground.

Then, with a slight kick on his hind legs, like a nimble giant ape, he easily leaped from one tree below him to the other tree, and climbed on top of it.

Then he kicked his leg again and rushed to the ancient tree farther away, so as to hurry.

If he occasionally bumps into a lone bamboo that is ten or a hundred years old, he will bite it......

As a panda, Ye Xi was originally only good at climbing trees, and he didn't know how to leap from tree to tree.

But Ye Xi had devoured more than one ape-like soul beast, the wind baboon, the holy illusion demon ape, and the hot ape...... There are too many of them, which allows him to easily master the art of leaping between the jungle trees, with only some means of swinging vines and climbing branches, which he cannot perform well for some objective reasons.

When he was in the Star Dou Great Forest, if it wasn't for the smell tracking, he would often be in such a hurry.

However, the quality of the trees in the Soul Hunting Forest could not be compared to Star Dou after all, and from time to time, he would encounter one or two fragile trees that could not bear his weight, unexpectedly interrupting his progress.

Especially the brown spot trees that made him eat deflated many times, all of them made him climb out of the shadow in his heart, so that he avoided this kind of tree directly when he saw it.

But despite the setbacks, he quickly made his way to the edge of the Soul Hunting Forest, where he saw the tall steel fences in the distance.

After a closer investigation, neither Ye Xi nor the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm found any signs of human surveillance in the vicinity.

"Come to think of it, the area of this Soul Hunting Forest is so large, how can it be managed by human monitoring alone, and there are too many manpower and material resources required, so there must be something strange about this fence."

Ye Xi no longer watched from a distance, but cautiously approached and carefully observed these iron fences.

The steel fence is eleven meters high, to be exact, and is made up of cylindrical steel bars the thickness of a human arm, with a relatively smooth surface that is free of rust and reflects a faint metallic sheen.

It was incredibly unbelievable to him.

Although there is a special existence such as a soul master in this world, the level of technology seems to be similar to that of the Middle Ages.

Under such a technical background, it is simply incredible to be able to smelt such a large amount of steel, let alone forge it into round strips and give it stainless properties!

"Let's do a few experiments first."

Ye Xi didn't rashly touch these steel fences directly, but let go of the bear's paw and let go of a hundred-year-old soul beast that was about to be pinched and deformed by him.

It was a frog-like soul beast half a meter long and shaped like a toad, with countless ugly bumps covered in yellow-brown skin, and an unusually viscous translucent liquid constantly secreted from it.

The most peculiar thing is that this soul beast only grows one hind limb, that is, it only has three legs.

This is a three-legged swamp toad that has been cultivated for a hundred years, and it was caught by Ye Xi on the way to the road.

For experiments, of course, you have to use mice or frogs!

"Quack!"

As soon as Ye Xi let go of his claws, the three-legged swamp toad wanted to escape, but as soon as he jumped with his strength, he was pressed to the ground by Ye Xi with a bear paw.

"Woohoo!"

Ye Xi bared his teeth at it and roared and threatened, forcing it to jump in the direction of the iron fence.

"Hello, ......"

Despite his reluctance, the three-legged swamp toad could only succumb to his obscenity, and slowly staggered towards the steel fence.

It seems to understand the strangeness of the fence, so it doesn't want to touch it!

Seeing it grinding like this, Ye Xi immediately spat out a small cluster of flames at its third leg.

"Quack! Wail! ”

The water attribute soul beast was the most sensitive to fire, and under the scorching heat of this cluster of high-temperature flames, the three-legged swamp toad was suddenly stimulated and screamed, and quickly trembled to speed up and jumped forward a few meters.

This thousand-year-old soul beast is even more terrifying than the devil frog of its kind!

As it approached the steel fence, the three-legged swamp toad glanced back with a resentful look, then jumped four meters again, and grabbed one of the steel bars with its three frog feet.

However, it barely lasted for a breath before it screamed and fell.

During this time, the steel fence did not produce any anomalies.

Ye Xi hurriedly stepped forward to carefully inspect the body of the three-legged swamp toad, and found that it was actually fine except for its body convulsions and spitting blisters.

According to the judgment of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it only suffered too much pain for a while, and it had some overreactions.

As expected, after waiting patiently for a long time, the soul beast returned to its original state and became lively again.

But Ye Xi wouldn't allow it to stumble and escape.

He squeezed the unlucky soul beast again, and with a wave of his big arm, he threw it high into the air in front of him.

"Quack!!"

The height of the three-legged swamp toad quickly climbed to nearly twenty meters, and if it had only been a normal fence in front of it, it would have been thrown out.

However, just as it was about to be thrown out of the forest, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier, causing it to bounce back in an instant.

"Bang!"

After the three-legged swamp toad landed in embarrassment again, except for the fall of seven meat and eight vegetables, the reaction was exactly the same as before.

After a long time, it gradually recovered.

Of course, due to several successive experiments, it became a little sluggish for a while.

"It's a bit nerve-wracking......"

Ye Xi scratched his head, feeling that the problem was a little tricky, and he didn't know how to break through.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly decided to try it himself.

"Even if you can't die if you touch this iron fence, it doesn't hurt to try it."

After using vines to bind the three-legged swamp frog on the side, Ye Xi gritted his teeth and stretched out a bear's paw, and pressed it against one of the fences.

Airplanes!

In an instant, an incomparably severe pain suddenly swept through every corner of Ye Xi's body, and the description of the pain to the bone marrow also seemed pale and powerless at this moment.

This feeling is even more exaggerated and miserable than ordinary people suffering a terrifying lightning strike!

"Hiss......"

Ye Xi was almost in so much pain that he couldn't control his body, and finally withdrew his arm, stopped this terrible pain, and sat on the ground weakly.

Even after gaining relief, he was still sweating like rain, shivering and gasping for cold air, unable to move for a while, and his thinking even temporarily stagnated.

At this moment, all he could think of was a blurry image that suddenly appeared in his mind when he touched the fence......
